JISE only accepts electronic submissions of manuscripts. To submit a manuscript for the review process, you should send an e-mail with the paper as an attachment to jise@appstate.edu. In the body of your e-mail message include the author(s) name(s), contact information for the corresponding author, and the title of your submission. Your submission will be acknowledged as promptly as possible via return e-mail. Your submission should be in Word (.doc) format (.pdf submissions will not be accepted, as the Assistant Editor must sometimes edit the submission for the review process).

General Submission Format
The initial manuscript should be double-spaced, contain a single column, utilize 12 point New Times Roman font, and contain 1" margins on all sides. The title should be centered across the top of the first and second pages, be of 18 point Times New Roman font, and have only the initial letters capitalized. Major headings are to be column centered, numbered (e.g. 1.), in a capitalized bold font. First level sub-headings are to be numbered (e.g. 1.1), in a bold font and left justified. No blank line is to appear between the first level sub-heading and the text. Tables and figures should be included in the text and should appear in the text right after the paragraph in which they were referenced. Manuscripts should be edited for spelling and grammar.

Page 1 of the Initial Submission
Page 1 of your submission should contain the title of the paper and should identify all authors, including authors' names, mailing addresses, and e-mail addresses. Authors' names should not appear anywhere else in the manuscript, except possibly as part of the reference list.

Page 2 of the Initial Submission
Page 2 of your submission should contain the title of the paper, followed by an Abstract that does not exceed about 250 words. The Abstract is followed by the text of the paper.

Reference Citations
Reference citation ordering and format should follow published JISE articles. Reference entries should be ordered alphabetically (in text and Reference Section) according to authors' or editors' last names, or the title of the work for items with no author or editor listed. Any reference contained in the text must be included in the Reference section and vice versa. References in the text should be of the format: (Harris et al., 1995; Johnson, 1996). Quotes from a source must include the page number (Johnson, 1996, pp. 223). References must be complete. For authors, last names are given first, even for multiple authors. References to periodicals should include: Author, title, journal, volume, number, month, year, pages. References to books should include: Author's name (same style as above), title, publisher, city, state/country, and year. Page(s), or chapter(s) should be cited where an idea or concept was taken from a portion of the book. References to reports or proceedings: Author's name and title of report or proceedings (same style as above), report number, source, editor and/or publisher as appropriate, city and state/country of publisher or conference as appropriate, including date and pages. In the References section of the paper, all author names must be listed; under no circumstances may you use "et al." in the References section of the paper. Following are four examples. They include a journal article, a book, a report/proceeding, and a web page. For more detailed instructions, you should might review Citing Sources Within Your Paper.
